Post op gallbladder removal surgery.

Day 1 and 2 post op. I’m just posting as a personal blog. So no judgement or hate please. I recently had my gallbladder removed and just want to post my journey of recovery. I’m pretty sore today still and swollen. I’ve been able to eat and drink good. I’m working on weaning myself off the pain meds today. I had my gallbladder removed 6/20/25. We will keep hoping and praying for a nice recovery. 🙏❤️‍🩹 #gallbladderremoval #recoveryjourney

Gallbladder removal surgery, or cholecystectomy, is a common procedure recommended for various gallbladder disorders, including gallstones and inflammation. Recovery time varies, but understanding what to expect can ease your journey. The first few days post-surgery often involve discomfort, swelling, and adjustments in dietary habits. Patients may experience temporary soreness, making pain management crucial. Staying hydrated and gradually reintroducing foods can aid recovery. It's advisable to follow-up with your doctor during recovery to ensure everything is healing properly. Remember to be gentle with yourself, allow for adequate rest, and don’t hesitate to reach out for support through forums or online communities about gallbladder issues. Incorporating light activity, as advised by your physician, will help in regaining strength over time. Keep track of any symptoms and celebrate small milestones as you continue on this recovery path. Your health and wellness journey matters!

A list titled "What You Can Eat (3 Days Post-Op and Beyond)" detailing soft, low-fat, bland foods for the first 1-5 days, including clear liquids, low-fat soups, plain rice, mashed potatoes, oatmeal, steamed vegetables, fruits like bananas, and lean proteins such as chicken, fish, and egg whites.

A list titled "Foods to Avoid (Especially in the First Few Weeks)" after gallbladder removal. It specifies high-fat/greasy foods, gas-producing foods like beans and broccoli, and other irritants such as spicy foods, caffeinated drinks, and alcohol.

A list outlining foods to slowly reintroduce after 1-2 weeks, including healthy fats, more fruits/veggies, whole grains, and low-fat yogurt. It also advises listening to your body, eating smaller meals, drinking water, and when to call a doctor for symptoms like nausea or severe pain.

After ending up in the E.R. with EXCRUCIATING pain a few years ago and being diagnosed with gallstones, I thought surgery was my only option. My mom had surgery to have gallstones removed when I was young and I still remember having to help her get dressed. I did some research and I found out that

A black plate holds two slices of wheat toast topped with mashed avocado, alongside baby carrots and fresh strawberries. The image text indicates this is part of a 'What I eat in a day' for someone preparing for gallbladder removal, focusing on healthy, non-irritating foods.

A hand holds a single golden-brown mini mantecada, described as a 'guilty pleasure snack.' The baked good is simple and appears to be a light, sweet treat, fitting into a diet avoiding greasy or spicy foods.

A black plate features two quesadillas with mozzarella cheese, spinach, and avocado, accompanied by baby carrots, strawberries, and a half banana. The text emphasizes these foods do not cause pain, aligning with a pre-surgery diet for gallbladder removal.
